The guarantee of our heavenly home should provide all we need to get through all that life gives, the good, the bad and the ugly. Remember, we live in a fallen world. Even with our sins wiped clean in God’s sight, we will remain fallen, frail human beings until we receive our new bodies and live forever in heaven.
The earth is deteriorating along with humanity. The Bible describes all that is happening right now, in our world, in great detail. None of it surprises God. The earth groans right along with us.
For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. Romans 8:19
We know that the whole creation has been groaning, as in the pains of childbirth, right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons and daughters, , the redemption of our bodies. Romans 8;22-23
The creation waits eagerly. We wait eagerly. Some days seem impossible to navigate. But, wait! We have hope. Always hope. And our Savior offers all we need to get through each and every single day.
The older we get, the more we anticipate heaven, but even the younger generation should keep an eternal perspective. The end of this short life is only the beginning of all things new and perfected. Wait in eager anticipation. He is coming again to set up a new heaven and a new earth for you and for me.
Lord,
The anticipation continues throughout our lives as we draw ever nearer to heaven. We eagerly await seeing those who have gone before us. We miss them deeply. But one day soon, we will see You and we will see them and the reunion will never end.
In Jesus name,
Amen
